Royalty Free Music: the solution to make your personal videos unique!

What does royalty free mean?


When a piece of music is granted under a royalty free license, it does not mean that the music itself is copyright-free. It means that copyright and related rights obligations are fulfilled with a one-time fee, without the need for further payments.In other words, authorised use of royalty free music does not generate periodic royalties. Such licenses can be acquired by paying a flat fee to the rightsholder(s), one time only.

What are royalties?


Royalties are payments made to rightsholders (lyricists, composers, publishers, producers etc.) in exchange for the licensed use of their music.
